Securities Fraud & Shareholder Remedies

Securities fraud is marked by insidious practices used to influence the stock and commodities market and the investors with major stakes in these financial markets. When companies submit a financial statement  containing untrue and deceptive data to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), such an incidence of filing false information with the SEC is an example of securities fraud. Furthermore, investors have a right to receive full disclosure of all information pertaining to their investment decisions.

If an investment adviser withholds any information about an investment, especially if the investment is high-risk and could result in major losses, this act of withholding investment information is also a case of securities fraud. The high-pressure sales tactics often used to influence an investor into making an investment without disclosing all of the details of such a risky investment is also known as fraudulent misrepresentation, as the investment adviser or stock broker was sharing a deceptive and false interpretation of the investment in question.
